Cruising around American Valley this afternoon, impressed by the totally brown, dried-out fields, and looking for something to photograph, I came across a small patch of green, accented by spots of yellow. I parked and walked over to investigate. Turns out it was a place where horses are watered and leave parts of themselves behind. We call it fertilizer. I was taken by the variety of very fresh looking poppies and the perfect, low lighting coming from the western sky.
I played around with poppy photography for a little while, then came across some globes of Salsify seeds that had seem nice color in the background.
I recommend clicking on these photos for close-up views of the detail. Each seed is an architectural wonder.
And, the hardy Start Thistle was still playing host to honey bees. Not many flowers left to feed the bees. I wonder what Star Thistle Honey tastes like.
